Dear Sir:
This is in the matter of the Application of the Midway Motel Inc. to install a motel
and restaurant with a 95 car parking lot accessory thereto on property located on
the southwest corner of University and Prior Avenues. The legal description is a
miscellaneous one, a copy of which is attached. The zoning is Heavy Industry and
has been since the adoption of the Ordinance in 1922.
This property is presently vacant and undeveloped except that portion of the tract
at the intersection of University and Prior Avenues which has been used for many
years by the Twin City Rapid Transit Company for a bus turn- around and lay over
point. The applicants propose to develop the site with a 93 unit two -story motel
and restaurant with a 95 car off - street parking lot accessory thereto. This is
an irregularly shaped tract of land having a frontage of 300 feet along University
Avenue and 250 feet along Prior Avenue. The total site area is approximately 72,546
square feet, or 1.67 acres.
South and adjoining the property under consideration is an off - street parking lot
which serves the tenants of the Midway Terminal Warehouse to the south; west and
adjoining is the St. Paul Terminal Warehouse; north and across University Avenue
is the parking lot for the State Highway Driver examination function which is
located at the northeast corner of University and Prior Avenues; east and across
Prior Avenue is the Zimmerman building which is used for various commercial and
light industrial uses.
The Traffic Engineer has approved the plot plan with regard to the parking lot and
means of ingress and egress. The State Highway Department has also approved the
plans in this regard. The plans for the parking lot meet the required standards
for this type of facility. Field investigation discloses no objections from the
standpoint of adjacent land uses.
In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the granting
of this application to install a motel and restaurant with a 95 car off-street
parking lot accessory thereto in accordance with plans approved August 27, 1959.
